So I am back. To school, now, for my third and final year of seminary! And also to (this corner of) the internet, on what will soon be a more regular basis.
I feel sort of thrown back into this, like I don't really have any idea what's going on. I registered for classes back in the spring, but I only sort of had backup ideas in case my elective classes didn't work out... which they didn't, of course.
So I found myself struggling with an impossibly difficult class on Hebrew poetry, which is great and fascinating, but I don't really speak enough Hebrew to, you know, *translate*... and if this had anything to do with anything else I'm doing, maybe it would be okay to spend way too many hours per week slogging through Accordance with my BDB and my BHS so that I don't embarrass myself in class when I stumble over a furtive patah and can't even get my consonants right (nevermind knowing what anything means) ...
Maybe some other time.
There are a few classes that make sense right now, and I'm taking those. And I've got some unscheduled time, and a new studio space. And a pile of books I keep buying and not having time to read. Now I'm going to read them, and narrow down this massive thesis vision I have in my head. (And keep adding to the book pile.)
For now, I think I'll use this space to keep some notes on the books I'm reading. They're mostly going to be books about theology and bodies and feminism, maybe some sex here and there :-)
It should be good.
